Ground Test & Evaluation of an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle

UAV(Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) has become one of the most popular military/commercial aerial robots in the new millenium. In spite of all the advantages that UAVs inherently have, it is not an easy job to develop a UAV because it requires very systematic and complete approaches in full development envelop. The ground test & evaluation phase has the utmost importance in the sense that a well developed system can be best verified on the ground. In addition, many of the aircraft crashes in the flight tests were resulted from the incomplete development procedure. In this research, a verification procedure of the whole airborne integrated system was conducted including the flight management sys...
